Looking for aluminum-free deodorant for my sensitive underarms..

I've never had a problem with drugstore deodorant, but I wanted to make the switch to aluminum-free. I first purchased Tom's of Maine Natural Long-Lasting Apricot Aluminum-Free Deodorant Stick. It smells like fruit loops and kept me odor-free. Unfortunately, I ended up getting a painful red rash under my arms. So I discontinued use and opted for Lavanila's Healthy Deodorant.. Same results.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions what I should try next? Like I said, I've never had any sensitivity issues before using drugstore deodorant with aluminum.. But I'd really like to steer away from that..

I'm sorry about your rash. That's horrible! My husband is allergic to aluminum and I was able to find him an aluminum-free, alcohol-free deodorant from L'Occitane called Eau des Baux Stick Deodorant. This brand also has other deodorants that are aluminum-free so I would suggest giving them a shot. Good luck!

I had the same problem. The only one that doesn't seem to give me a rash is the Kiss My Face natural active life stick (not their liquid rock roll on). I went through quite a few deodorants that either broke me out or didn't work before trying the Kiss My Face ones. They work amazingly well!

I just looked up the Pure Hearts deodorant and I think I'll have to check it out! I wonder if maybe applying a little bit of powder after you put it on would counteract that oiliness? I've never heard of Lafe's either, so I'll check that out too.

I really liked Lavanila. The scents are fantastic and it seemed to work for me, rash aside. It's a little pricey, but I definitely would've paid for it again if it hadn't been for my reaction to it.

I use LaVanila for that same reason: healthier and no rash. My rashes, though, are from the antiperspirant ingredient, I believe, so I've been good with LaVanila. You may want to see your doctor and get them to treat you and/or refer you for allergy testing/dermatologist.

Seeing someone will definitely be my last option! I think I'll try a few more products first. It's just so strange to me that my reactions occurred AFTER I switched to healthier deodorants! I wanted Lavanila to work sooo bad for me.
